I found a copy where side 2 is blank (columbia logos only) -- anybody else seen one of these? -
This pressing is outstanding. Dare I say I bought this on E-bay in a lot collection for $10 per record? -
Edited 2 years agoI spent some time comparing my copy of this original 1970 Santa Maria with the 1975 Terre Haute and the MoFi. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. Now, the MoFi was the first stereo copy of BB that I ever bought on vinyl. It's awesome. I expected that one to win, but actually, this original won. It's got a bit more energy and snap than the MoFi, and it's cut louder, which I like.
By no means is the MoFi deficient; quite the opposite. That has a ton of excellent detail. Yet somehow this copy sounds just a bit fresher and more alive. The MoFi is smoothed off; this has more of an edge.
Plus the cover art here is better. A lot better. This is my favorite Miles album, and the original is the one to beat. Thrilled to have a copy of it! -
Best release ever !! of all times !! ça fait plus de 20 ans que ce disque m'accompagne !! un régal à tout point de vue

Simply amazing. You have to hear this record with headphones on , it drags you in and blows you away. -
I inherited a mint copy of this from my Dad's collection. This is a fantastic press! Vinyl is dead quiet and the mastering is very good. Worth picking up used if you can find one at a decent price. -
apart from the 40th anniversary vinyl (coming in the box set) are there standalone LPs that use the ORIGINAL mix? 4 example the newest reissues called "we are vinyl" use the Macero or the Wilder mix?

Absolutely brilliant. Picked up my copy late 1971 and it is in regular listening rotation. Just watch the documentary "Mile Davis, Birth of Cool". Now I am listening to Spanish Key. Absolutely brilliant -
Just a wonderful recording in so many ways. Not only can you 'picture' where the trumpet is in the soundscape, on certain tracks you can hear the way it is aimed.

CAN THIS HAPPEN? My copy of the LP album has 2 different labels on the two records. The first record (sides XSM 152412 and 13) has the black and white ink "2 eyes" "360 SOUND" labels. The second record (Sides XSM 152414 and 15) has the black and yellow ink with the word "COLUMBIA" 6 times around the edge, with "Eye" logos in between. I only own one copy, so I couldn't have accidentally switched them. Has anyone ever heard of this kind of thing?
